The City of Rochester has expressed official condolences to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where a gunman targeting police killed three officers and wounded several others.
Mayor Lovely Warren says the thoughts and prayers of Rochester are with Baton Rouge and the families of the fallen officers…as they have been with the family of Alton Sterling, whose shooting by police apparently helped trigger this wave of anti-police violence.
Mayor Warren says Rochester is working hard to strengthen the connection between police officers and the residents they serve. She says we need to lift each other up instead of tear one another down.
